Which is the most grammatically accurate among the following similar titles of an action research? (If there is none, please let me know what the most appropriate title is.)

OVERDEPENDENCE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORES OF MOUNT OLIVE COLLEGE ON THE GRAMMAR TRANSLATION METHOD IN ENGLISH CLASSES

OVERDEPENDENCE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORES OF THE MOUNT OLIVE COLLEGE ON THE GRAMMAR TRANSLATION METHOD IN THE ENGLISH CLASSES

OVERDEPENDENCE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORES OF MOUNT OLIVE COLLEGE ON THE GRAMMAR TRANSLATION METHOD IN THEIR ENGLISH CLASSES

Mister Micawber · Answer

Do not use all caps. I would save 'Mount Olive College' for your introductory paragraphs.

Overdependence of High School Sophomores on the Grammar Translation Method in English Classes

Rommel · Answer

Somebody told me that the title ‘Overdependence on the Grammar Translation Method in English Classes of High School Sophomores’ is also acceptable. How true is it? Honestly speaking, I find this title weird.

Mister Micawber · Answer

Your first two suggestions (and my revision) all suggest that the students are using the method, irrespective of the teacher's method. Your latest suggests that it is the teacher's method that is being examined. If the latter is the case, then I would probably reduce it to this:

Overdependence on Grammar Translation Method in 2nd Year High School English Classes

(On second thought, 'sophomore' is not a universally understood term.)

All of them are 'acceptable' as far as grammar and structure are concerned. It is a matter of which is most clear and concise (something that academic writers are seldom good at). If this is a thesis submission or for a class assignment of any sort, then I would show your teacher the list and ask which s/he prefers.

Is the title “Overdependence on the Grammar Translation Method in English Classes as Exhibited by High School Sophomores” accurate?

Mister Micawber · Answer

You are going in the wrong direction: shorten and simplify it.  You will put your readers to sleep before they even start the introduction.

Rommel · Answer

How about the title 'Overdependence of High School Sophomores on the Grammar Translation Method in English Classes at Mount Olive College'? Is it okay?

You have obviously been paying no attention to my advice.

Ha, ha, ha!

No, Sir Micawber, please don't get me wrong.

Just keep cool. You know, my college professor really wants me to include in the title of the my action research the name of the school of the high school sophomores. I told her that doing so would just make the title lengthy. In my research, my respondents are the high school sophomores who are dependent on the grammar translation method. I told her that the title 'Overdependence of High School Sophomores on the Grammar Translation Method in English Classes' is enough, but she wants me to mention in it the respondents' school, school address, and the school year when the research is conducted, all of which are facts to be stated in the introductory paragraph. But it's you, Mister Micawber, whom I believe. Thank you for being patient with me.
